Instrument: NextSeq 500
Strategy: RNA-Seq
Source: TRANSCRIPTOMIC
Selection: cDNA
Layout: SINGLE
Construction protocol: We used an optimized version of Single Cell RNA Barcoding and Sequencing 7 (SCRB-seq; Soumillon et al, 2014), further reducing the reverse transcriptase reaction volume. In brief, poly(A)+ mRNA from flow-sorted single Plasmodium infected erythrocytes were converted to cDNA, decorated with universal adapters, well barcodes, and unique molecular identifiers (UMIs), using a template-switching reverse transcriptase. Then, cDNA from multiple cells was pooled, amplified, and prepped for multiplexed sequencing using a transposon-based fragmentation method, enriching for 3’ ends and preserving strand information.
